Fuentes Del Silencio Las Jara 2019
Appearance: Deep ruby with a hint of garnet at the rim, showing moderate viscosity and slow legs that suggest a wine with some concentration.
Aroma: Inviting scent profile of ripe black cherries, plum and blackberry, layered with earthy notes of forest floor and tobacco. Subtle spice—black pepper and clove—emerges with time in the glass, alongside a faint floral lift of dried violet.
Palate: Medium-plus body with balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins. Primary dark fruit flavors—blackberry, black cherry and dark plum—are complemented by savory, mineral-driven elements and a touch of gamey leather. Oak influence is present but well integrated, offering vanilla and toasted coconut nuances without overpowering the fruit.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with aged cheeses (Manchego or a nutty Comté), roasted lamb, braised short ribs, grilled portobello mushrooms, or a charcuterie board featuring cured meats, olives, and roasted red peppers.
Service: Serve slightly below room temperature, around 60–64°F. Decant for 30–45 minutes to allow aromas to open if drinking now.
